The left winger has been sidelined with a hip injury, which he picked up on Bafana Bafana duty at the start of October.
And while Amakhosi have performed well without him, the Soweto giants will be more than happy to see their talisman back in the first XI.

"I am just delighted to be back and hopefully I will get to contribute to the team," he told the club's official website.
"It is our aim to defend the Telkom Knockout and we all know that Free State Stars will come out fighting."
Kaizer Motaung Junior will be missing for Chiefs as he serves the first game of a two-match ban following his sending off against SuperSport United.
Thomas Sweswe will return from personal leave and Reneilwe Letsholonyane is back from a one-game suspension.
The Glamour Boys will be looking to build on their impressive league win over SuperSport, while remaining tight at the back.
Former Amakhosi star and Ea Lla Koto coach Steve Komphela believes that no matter which 11 take the field, Stars - who have won their previous two games, will face a difficult task.
"As you may be aware this Saturday we are engaged in the Telkom Knockout Cup quarter final against my one of my former teams Kaizer Chiefs this Saturday. They are a quality side make no mistake about that; and I want my players to prove to me that the two wins were not flukes," he told the club's official website.
"When playing a quality side like Chiefs one needs to put an extra effort and yes coming out of two wins we have received some sort of a morale boost.
"However we must not be complacent as these are the quarter finals - a different ball game altogether."
For the visitors, Josia Motha will miss out through suspension, while Ayanda Gcaba is still injured.
